Anything I Can Do Now to Increase My Scalp Laxity for Future Transplant? – Hair Loss Information by Dr. William Rassman

You have mentioned before that one of the determining factors in a successful transplant candidate is that candidate’s scalp laxity. I am not in need of a transpant at my current state of hair loss, but I can foresee myself needing it some time down the road. Is there anything I can do TODAY to maximze the number of grafts I can get TOMORROW?

A good hair transplant doctor can tell you if your scalp is tight. If it is not, then there is no need to do exercises that may increase the looseness of your scalp. If it is tight, you can put your hands double clasped behind your head and slide the skin up and down. Most people have about 1/2 inch of skin movement, those with tight scalps have less than that. With this exercise done 3-6 times a day for a few minutes at a time, I have seen the scalp laxity go up.
